Kimpton Hotels Heading to the City of Brotherly Love
While we wouldn't go so far as to call Philadelphia "Fabulous" just yet, there is a lot of push happening to restore Philadelphia's image as a city that you would actually want to check-out.
Aside from hip restaurants, funky shopping, burgeoning neighborhoods and new historical tours, Philly's hotel scene is starting to shake up.
We reported that a restaurant from chef Stephen Starr would be coming to town inside the W Philadelphia and the Loews Philly just got a recent $9 million makeover. Now it looks like Kimpton Hotels is making a move. From a local news item:
"Boutique hotel operator Kimpton's checking into the Architects Building at 17th and Sansom Streets, across from the Sofitel and next to Club Quarters; the popular AIA bookstore will relocate to 1218 Arch St. after the holidays."
Let's hope Kimpton has better room views than the Club Quarters hotel.
